For the research project: If you haven't already, one person from each team should post their names and topic on the research project documentation page, here in the wiki. That will allow me to take a look at them before next week. Remember both people should be using the wiki, try the discussion tab.
Work with your lab partner to hone your research design table--finalize it, and bring it with you.
Begin thinking of how you will obtain materials
Decide how you want to organize your notes (cards or packet); Have cards or packet ready for our fieldtrip to the library...(electronic version of the packet is available on the assignments page...called the MLA Documentation Work Sheet)
Meet on the top floor (6th) of Milner next week---look at the announcements for more details later in the week
Housekeeping
Turn in updated research design table
Library research questions...all groups organized?
Assignments that require feedback. I may have a full week as the deadline, but feedback is a tricky thing. The quicker you get something completed, the quicker you get feedback.
What to do in the library today
Research Project
You can NOT start taking notes until your research questions are approved. Check your research project document sharing page to find out! My notes are in red.
Begin finding resources to answer your research questions (in pairs, can divide these between you) Remember I posted some free online science journals on the research project links page...I had posted that in the announcements.
Take notes
don't write in complete sentences
get bib information (MLA)
STAY ORGANIZED
Hands-On or STEM Kit research
Before you leave today:
Show proof of note-taking...I'll be looking for good organization & appropriate note taking skills (This is a grade!)
As a research pair: sit down to talk with me about your research design, and ask general questions
Assignments to have completed for next week (Sept 23)
Note Check: Bring in your notecards or packet...must have notes in for research questions--another grade. If you are doing them electronically, could you email (or give me a google link) by 8:00 the morning of class?
Email me a list of any materials you may need to borrow before next class session
Read Part 5: Writing a Hypothesis (don't do SH # 4 yet...we'll do it together in class.)
Continue working on your Hands-On project
Post your partners for STEM Kit challenge....on the STEM Kit page I'll be pairing you up with 307 students soon.
